Innovating the Future of Horticulture
ZEDLAB is a horticulture-focused agritech company based in Hawke’s Bay, Aotearoa.
We design and build practical technology across three pillars: horticulture systems, postharvest innovation, and sustainable materials that reduce waste.
Our mission is simple:
Help growers feed a growing world more sustainably.
What We Do
Horticulture Technology
Practical engineering and systems design for growers - from concepts and components to bespoke solutions in orchards, greenhouses, and controlled environments.
Postharvest Innovation
Developing technologies and ideas that help protect quality, reduce losses, and improve efficiency after harvest.
Materials & Waste Reduction
Exploring natural fibres, bio-based materials, and circular solutions to reduce single-use plastics and turn waste into new value.
Engineering a More Sustainable Food Future
We want growers to keep more of the value they create.
Waste, inefficiency, and postharvest losses quietly erode margins.
Our role is to design technology that helps growers recover value - through better systems, smarter postharvest tools, and materials that unlock new opportunities.
If growers are stronger, the whole food system is stronger.
We love good food and we respect what it takes to grow it.
Behind every piece of fruit or vegetable is months of work, risk, and care from soil, water, and inputs, to labour, weather, and uncertainty.
We hate seeing that effort go to waste.
ZEDLAB exists to help protect the value of what growers produce, so more food makes it from orchard to plate in the best possible condition.
We reduce waste by inventing better ways of doing things.
Waste isn’t just a cost problem - it’s an environmental one.
We explore new ideas in engineering, postharvest, and materials science to cut waste at every stage: in the field, in the packhouse, and in the supply chain.
Our goal is simple: design innovations that make it easier to do the right thing for both the business and the planet.
